Hi, I'm Andrea, and I'm interested in creatures and plants both wild and tamed, and people of all sorts. I only use a compact digital camera ,as I love being able to get it into a back pocket, and not have to cart heavy kit about. I carry a Panasonic Lumix TZ series, binoculars and a hand lens almost everywhere.Most of my outings are with the dogs so I only use point and shoot.
I am getting the hang of Photoshop, thanks to some very kind folk on RR!
I have a wildlife garden in Bournemouth, Dorset, in the UK, and spend a lot of time there . I retired from teaching art to teenagers a while ago.
I'm now getting some good results with my digi compacts; it took me a while to make the switch from my old film camera, an 1960 ish Pentax Spotmatic, but the mistakes are much cheaper!
I have 4 lodgers, 3 dogs and a parrot who, as at 2017, I have had 40 years.
I has so far had 19 dogs, mostly rescues.

Superb detail as always. Did you find out if he needed any sun block?

The yellow here is luminous esp in zoom. It's like a big lit-up duvet cover. I don't know if flies see color; though if they do, they see it lots of times, as (I recall) their eyes are multi-scopic---right? (That would drive me batty!) A striking shot, and we can even see his antenna (probiscus? the straight thing coming out of his head) (drill bit?). And the stained-glass textures of his wings...More of your fine exploration of the insect kingdom...

This is such a perfect shot Like on a summerday so hot. The leaf is a feast for the eye. I dont think the same about the fly ;-)
